[Since their breakup the two have become pretty distant but thats common with breakups, right? These past years Steve has gotten a rude wakeup call. He's alone.
He always goes back to an empty home. He had no visitors those times he went to the hospital for injuries he suffered from Hargrove and the Russians.
( That stings to read, but it puts some things into perspective. He must be hurting and it pains her that he feels he has to do it all on his own. It’s partially her fault, isn’t it? )
I’m sorry, Steve. You shouldn’t have to feel that way.

I'm fine.
And if you're worried about my injuries they happen to be fine too.
See?
Nothing to worry about.

There’s everything to worry about, Steve.
If you don’t want me to say it, I won’t. But it doesn’t make it any less of a reality.

I'm fine, alright? I'm always fine. I've always been fine.
That's not going to change.
[Only he's so far from fine its ridiculous.]
no subject
( Except she doesn’t, not a little bit. )
But my concern for you isn’t going to change, either. You’ve been through a lot, Steve. You don’t have to do everything on your own.
